Condividere la conoscenza di un progetto: la knowledge base del SITAR
Arjuna Cecchetti, Federica Lamonaca
Abstract
On the occasion of the 2013 edition of ArcheoFOSS, the SITAR Project presented the first steps towards the setup of a Knowledge Base dedicated to the Archaeological Information System of Rome. After one year, it is interesting to present a summary of the progress of this platform. The SITAR Knowledge Base was created to promote collaboration among different partners and to facilitate the dialogue and the interaction of the users with the Information System. The project itself intends to be a meeting-point between the Institution, that has the objective to preserve, organize and represent archaeological data, and all the parties that need to use and reuse them. The dialogue is well-supported also by a wiki environment, a SITAR-glossary with official definitions of the specific terms of the project and with an open wiki for the contributions of specialized users. This paper intends to explore the perspectives of the SITAR Knowledge Base, as a system for open content management and as a dissemination instrument for archaeological and technical knowledge, creating constant two-way traffic for the construction of new archaeological knowledge while, at the same time, disclosing to the public the dataset represented through the webGIS encountering the communities that live in the city in a perspective of Public Archaeology.
La sistematizzazione dei dati del XIII Municipio Ovest (già XVIII Ovest): prospettive di ricerca
Anna De Santis, Annalisa Treglia, Federica Lamonaca
Abstract
This study describes the most important archaeological finds of the western part of the XIII municipality, dating back from the prehistoric age to the Roman empire. Thanks to the work of surveys and supervision of Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma (SSBAR), several protection procedures (like Castel di Guido, Polledrara di Cecanibbio, Cava Esi, Cava Mapi) have been already started. The gradual data capture of all the archaeological finds in the SITAR database is essential for an exhaustive knowledge of the territory in order to organize the conservation activity. At present, the data entry concerns all the findings since 1997 up to the present day; the sites analyzed are streets that testify the presence of the ancient Via Cornelia and Via Aurelia and other secondary roads, aqueducts (Aqua Alsietina), graves and villas of the Roman period. The SITAR system offers the possibility to analyze this data not only from a historic-archaeological point of view, with the study of the ancient settlement’s distribution and evolution, but especially with regards to the modern landscape’s transformation, becoming pivotal areas that the authorities should take into consideration for their conservation.
Il Sistema Informativo Territoriale Archeologico di Roma: SITAR
Mirella Serlorenzi, Federica Lamonaca, Stefania Picciola, Cristiana Cordone
Abstract
The SITAR project, designed to implement the GIS Archaeology of Rome, was started in 2007 by the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma (SSBAR). The starting point for the SITAR project was the SSBAR requirement to digitize and manage a large quantity of administrative and scientific data concerning Cultural Heritage. This project was developed at a crucial point in which the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities was rethinking the Territorial Information System, the data standardization and data sharing system used in the past decades. It was the input to the new institutional Open Approach. This aspect is apparent in the proposed SITAR data model, whose linearity is applied in the same basic logical levels already identified and well-structured information architecture of the System and those that will be tested. The additional advantage of SITAR is precisely the possibility of splitting archaeological knowledge into these core levels and reassembling it under the guidance of those who have the tools and scientific knowledge to do so. The SSBAR aspires to the creation of an archaeological ‘cadastre’ of Rome which is an approved and certified basis created according to information on legal and administrative aspects of archaeological science. In addition, the comparison with other institutions actively engaged in testing new multimedia technologies applied to cultural heritage has encouraged the evolution of SITAR to 3D data modeling and the development of procedures to test the archaeological potential.
